ABOUT ME
I received my MSc in Algorithms from the Department of
Computer Science of the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. I
am currently a third-year PhD student at the Linguistic Computing Laboratory (LCL).

In this paper we present the current status of linguistic resources published as linked data in the LLOD cloud in our research group, namely BabelNet, Babelfy and the Wikipedia Bitaxonomy. We describe the different resources in terms of their salient aspects, objectives and expected output and discuss the benefits that each of these resources potentially brings in the world of LLOD NLP-aware services. We also present public web-based services which allow to query, explore and export data into RDF format, thus truly enabling interoperability across the web.

We present WiBi, an approach to the automatic creation of a bitaxonomy for Wikipedia, that is, an integrated taxonomy of Wikipage pages and categories.
We leverage the information available in either one of the taxonomies to reinforce the creation of the other taxonomy. Our experiments show higher quality and coverage than state-of-the-art resources like DBpedia, YAGO, MENTA, WikiNet and WikiTaxonomy. WiBi is available at http://wibitaxonomy.org.
